And I have a user story: Andy wants to use a password manager to
store
his password for an account in the Online Accounts list. When it’s
time to log in, Andy clicks the account and a system modal dialog
appears asking for a password. Andy would like to click the account in
the password manager and copy the password, but he can’t, because the
dialog is system modal. So instead, Andy grumbles, dismisses the
dialog, copies the password, and then tries to get the dialog to
reappear before the copied password is auto-cleared from the
clipboard. Andy also wonders why the system modal dialog is not
visually consistent with the Online Accounts application at all.
It isn't just you. I HATE that modal dialog. I actively dislike
modal dialogs in general, but that particular one has tripped me up so
many times....
